MSI MS-1057 CORE 2 DUO NOTEBOOK
Conclusion
The MS-1057 whitebook
was a breeze to assemble - that is what we set out
to determine in this article. Performance
usually is pretty much on par with other notebooks
based on the same memory, CPU, chipset, HDD and GPU,
so there's really no surprise there.
Some other comments on
the MS-1057:
-
Optical SPDIF output on
audio jack
-
Integrated bluetooth and
1000BT Ethernet
-
< 5 lb is acceptable
-
Screen brightness is
mediocre
-
Battery life around
2-3 hours doing office-type activity with
brightness at 80%
-
Tinny, weak speakers
-
Very weak wireless
reception
-
PATA HDD interface
outdated
-
CTRL key misplaced
Overall, the MS-1057 is a very good barebones
notebook especially for its price. It has good
features and is easily upgradeable. Until
something faster and better per dollar comes out,
this is our portable of choice.
